Chapter 298: Counter-killing

The big bow was pulled to eight points full, and the white eagle arrow trembled slightly, aiming directly at the Tuyuhun general who was fleeing backwards!

The middle finger of the index finger holding the feather arrow loosened, and the feather arrow left the string and flew forward like a meteor.

I saw that the red general swooped forward, and then fell to the ground, and on top of the red big gun, there was an arrow with white feathers exposed, which looked so eye-catching.

Zhang Yunwen was suddenly overjoyed, and shouted violently: "Brothers, the enemy chief is dead, don't want to fight, evacuate here with me!" "Cut down a Tuyuhun knight and galloped eastward. Behind him, nearly a hundred scouts followed closely.

At this time, the situation was also extremely critical, although the more than 1,000 Tuyuhun knights were killed in battle, they still rushed up and fought with the scouts without fear of death, and the cavalry attacking the camp over there saw that the rear was attacked, and also divided a cavalry to rush to the rear, and was killing this side, less than 300 steps. If you don't retreat for a long time, you will definitely be surrounded and annihilated.

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's call, the scouts ran in the direction of Zhang Yunwen and slowly left the battlefield. If someone is chasing, get a good crossbow and turn around and give them an arrow.

However, the cavalry who rushed over saw that Zhang Yunwen and the others wanted to escape, so they also pursued directly in this direction.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yunwen scolded secretly: "We didn't kill your Lao Tzu, why are you biting so tightly!" But he did not dare to relax in his hands, and the whip struck wildly, and the horse's hooves flew like flying.

The pursuing cavalry numbered about 2,000 people, including about 500 cavalry around the Tuyuhun general, totaling 2,500 people. In the face of this kind of force, Zhang Yunwen didn't dare to let the soldiers turn around and fight, but just ordered: "Damn, if you are chased too closely by these vicious dogs, you can use a grenade to bombard his mother!" ”

There are not many grenades in the scouts' hands, and Zhang Yunwen has never been willing to use them, but now that the pursuers are biting tightly, Zhang Yunwen has to order the soldiers to use them.

The scouts, with nearly 500 horsemen, rushed all the way to the east, and behind them, more than 2,000 cavalry gave chase.

Just after Zhang Yunwen and others left the battlefield, the form on the battlefield had changed. In the face of the seemingly endless rain of arrows of the Tang Army, the courage of these Tuyuhun cavalry was slowly worn away. As the reconnaissance battalion raided its rear and killed the leading generals, these leading generals were immediately divided into two factions without the restraint of their superiors, one advocating the continuation of the fight and the other advocating retreat. Those who advocated retreat quickly gained the upper hand, and slowly withdrew their soldiers. And those generals who advocated continuing the attack knew that their troops were insufficient and it was difficult to capture this Tang army battalion, so they had to withdraw their soldiers.

At this time, there were still more than 11,000 Tuyuhun cavalry, and in addition to the more than 2,000 cavalry pursuing the reconnaissance battalion, nearly half of the number of people killed in the battle.

Seeing this result, the generals of Tuyuhun couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, looking at the Tang army camp standing on the gentle slope, their eyes were full of fear.

Just as the Tuyuhun cavalry slowly withdrew, Li Jing's eyes flashed: "What is the strength of Qibi?" ”

Hearing this, he Li, who knew that he should appear on his own, immediately excitedly came out and hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" ”

"I order you to immediately order the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to go out of the camp and annihilate the enemy!"

"Whoa!"

After Qi Bi He Li hurriedly retreated, Li Jing ordered another general to take the crossbowmen out of the camp to annihilate the enemy, as for these soldiers who acted as archers, after shooting an unknown number of arrows, their arms were already weak and weak, and Li Jing would not send them out.

The gate of the Tang camp opened, and Qi Qi He Li stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the Tuyuhun cavalry below who were in chaos due to retreat, and waved the scimitar in his hand: "Kill-"

Five thousand Turkic cavalry rushed down the gentle slope and took advantage of the momentum to rush down!

Behind them, more than a thousand crossbowmen also followed on their horses.

But Zhang Yunwen's side is a little bad.

"Boss, if you run like this, even if you can stand it, the horse can't stand it!" Liu Cheng followed Zhang Yunwen's side and said loudly.

Zhang Yunwen replied angrily: "Of course Lao Tzu knows, isn't this just looking for a place to ambush this group of bastards?" ”

Liu Cheng was silent at the moment, but his eyes swept around, and it seemed that he was also looking for a suitable place.

"There it is! Boss, look over there! Liu Cheng pointed to a mountain range in the distance. The ridge is not very high, but from the ridge to the foot of the mountain, it is covered with a dense layer of trees.

It was early summer, and the whole forest took on a light green color, as if a thin layer of light blue gauze was draped over the mountains. The grass on the periphery of the woods was lush and green, apparently rarely visited.

I followed Liu Cheng's finger and saw the woods, and my eyes lit up at the moment: "Okay, that's it!" ”

As he spoke, he took control of the horse's reins and ran straight to the mountain.

Soon arrived at the edge of the woods, and after Zhang Yunwen and the others rode into the woods, they quickly dismounted and escaped into the woods. Hundreds of horses were left hanging their heads and slowly chewing on the grass in the woods.

When the Tuyuhun cavalry arrived at the edge of the woods, they saw only these horses. Looking at the deep woods, they did not dare to enter it.

The three Tuyuhun generals, who seemed to be the leaders, gathered together and babbled something in a language that the scouts couldn't understand. This made Wang Ke, who was lying motionless on the treetops and his ears erected, depressed.

However, he soon learned of the plans of the Tuyuhun people, and saw them turn over and dismount, each with a bow and arrow in his hand, and carefully touch into the woods.

At this time, the light in the woods is bright, and there are dappled spots of light on the ground in many places. The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, which were soft and soft when stepped on, making a soft noise, giving off a damp and moldy smell.

Suddenly, a black corner of clothes flashed behind a big tree, and the soldiers suddenly shot a rain of arrows. Seeing that there was no movement over there, I looked at it and saw a black corner of my clothes swinging in the wind, surrounded by feather arrows.

A soldier leaned down, looked at the cloth carefully, and immediately said to the general next to him: "General, the corners of this coat are hung by tree branches, which means that those Tang soldiers may have fled over there!" ”

The general was silent for a moment, and said decisively: "Chase!" And he took the men and pursued them in the direction that the soldier had pointed to.

Sure enough, I didn't go far before I saw a pile of messy footprints in a clearing covered with thick stumps and leaves. There are still fresh scratches on the surrounding trees.

The general laughed: "Sure enough, it's here!" Give me chase! With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him immediately rushed to the opposite side. However, when they had just run to the thick leaves, they felt that their feet were soft, and then empty, and the whole person fell straight down.

"Not good, there is an ambush!" As soon as the general finished speaking, a crossbow bolt flew out of the treetops and pierced deep into his head.

The rest of the soldiers were immediately covered by a rain of arrows, and let out a terrible scream.

When the other Tuyuhun warriors rushed here when they heard the sound, they saw only nearly 100 corpses with arrow holes on their bodies and bleeding out.

This happens from time to time in the woods. When the Tuyuhun soldiers split up to search, they will encounter traps, rattan nets, and a rain of arrows, and eventually end up in the annihilation of the entire army. And when they gathered together, they were killed and wounded by crossbow arrows that were not fired from the treetops, through the thick dead branches and leaves, and from the blatant fire. These Tang troops moved extremely fast, and seemed to be undisturbed by the woods, often shooting an arrow, and then immediately fleeing, quickly disappearing into the depths of the woods.

If you can't chase it, you can't prevent it.

After wandering through the woods for a long time, and not knowing how many people were lost, the general Tuyuhun finally ordered his soldiers to withdraw from this terrifying forest.

Then, a low horn sounded.

Just as these Tuyuhun people were retreating, crossbow arrows flew out from the treetops and behind the trees, killing many of these retreating soldiers.

When the Tuyuhun people fled from the woods in disarray, the number of people was counted, and there were almost 900 fewer people. A general was furious on the spot and said: "Lao Tzu said that he would set fire to this forest, but you didn't agree, saying that you would search it first, but now it's good that you have lost so many people and horses!" ”

The remaining two generals smiled bitterly: "Aren't we afraid that after setting fire, we will burn down a large area of grassland, and the gods will blame us!" ”

"Blame a fart, the Great Khan himself took the lead in setting fire to the grasslands, why can't we!"

The two generals were silent for a moment.

So, the general who advocated arson, ordered his soldiers to light torches and start setting fires.

"What to do, chief? These bastards are ready to set fire! Shall we kill them? Liu Cheng asked worriedly.

Zhang Yunwen smiled disapprenosingly: "This summer day is lush with vegetation and humid air, not so easy to ignite." Besides, the field is getting dark, and they are tired, and they are going to burn themselves when they set up camp outside? ”

As Zhang Yunwen expected, after these soldiers lit a fire for a long time, but only made a puff of smoke, the general was full of iron and green and let the soldiers go down. Seeing that it was not early, these Tuyuhun people set up their tents and prepared to camp here.

Zhang Yunwen said with a smile: "This guy is camping here, he must be waiting for us to go and steal the camp, and then wipe us out!" This is wishful thinking, but it is loud! ”

Liu Cheng and the others suddenly burst into laughter.

"Okay, tonight I'll go to the camp as he wishes!"

That night, a bright moon was as clean as jade, sprinkling a faint clear glow, which made Zhang Yunwen a little unhappy, such a night, in terms of stealing camps, it was extremely inconvenient. But the plan has to go ahead as usual.

There was no movement throughout the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, the Tuyuhun people who had been waiting for a long time were a little tired, yawning from time to time.

At this moment, only the neighing of horses could be heard from the direction of the woods, and then the horses' hooves roared like thunder. The Tuyuhun soldier in charge of guarding suddenly became agitated and shouted loudly: "The Tang army is stealing the camp!" ”

In an instant, the camp exploded, the figures were longing, and the Tuyuhun soldiers rushed out of the camp shouting and killing, ready to meet the Tang army.

However, when they were preparing to fight with the Tang army in a murderous manner, they only saw more than 400 horses neighing and rushing towards the camp. There was no one on horseback.

The soldiers immediately lowered their weapons at a loss, and watched the horses rush towards the camp. After all, horses alone are not a threat. Besides, the speed of this horse is not too fast, it can only be counted as a trot.

However, just as the horses passed by the Tuyuhun soldiers lined up in a dense line, dozens of grenades were suddenly thrown from under the horse's belly and landed in the crowd.

It turned out that dozens of thin soldiers were firmly tied under the belly of the horses, and rushed into the enemy camp with these unridden horses, and when the horses rushed to the side of the Tuyuhun soldiers, these people threw out the grenades in their hands.

"Boom-"

In the quiet of the night, the loud explosions were loud. Affected by the huge explosion, the horses that had been jogging were suddenly frightened, raised their hooves and neighed, and ran in all directions. At this moment, he didn't care if there was anyone in front of him, and he rushed straight over. Suddenly, these Tuyuhun soldiers were knocked off and trampled by the horses.

Then Yueguang saw that there was chaos in the camp, and Zhang Yunwen smiled "hehe": "Brothers, it's time for us to go now!" ”

Everyone nodded vigorously.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yunwen, these hundreds of scouts wearing black armor and even their faces and palms painted black were like civets, quietly approaching the Tuyuhun camp.
